Toronto Blue Jays player is playing with a used glove he bought on eBay

Just another reminder that baseball players are like you and me.

That's even true for someone like Ernie Clement, who has achieved cult hero status for the Toronto Blue Jays during his terrific postseason performance.

The 29-year-old has been a revelation for the Blue Jays on their World Series quest, and he revealed one of the secrets to his success.

Prior to Game 6 of the World Series, MLB network analyst Kevin Frandsen asked Clement about the glove he was using.

Because apparently, he bought the glove on eBay.

So, the question is, why is a baseball player making $1.95 million per season buying used gloves on eBay?

"My other one broke, so I needed one quick, and that one was already broken in, and my other ones aren't broken in the way I like."

Frandsen asked Clement whether he or the seller knew who the glove belonged to.

"I tried to look, but they deleted their eBay account. So, I have no idea who it is."

"That's probably somebody's stolen glove," Frandsen replied.

"Yeah, maybe," said Clement. "They made some money off of it."

It does make you wonder how many other MLBers are purchasing used gloves so that they feel right when going out onto the field.

Regardless, you can't blame Clement for knowing what he wants. The 29-year-old was nominated as a Gold Glove finalist for his work as a third baseman for the Blue Jays in 2025.

He has combined his infield efficiency with batting prowess in the playoffs. His .397 postseason batting average trails only Vladimir Guerrero Jr. among Toronto batters.
